I am in the process of trying to merge two large databases. I have four tables that really should be one to work in the new DB. I just need to be able to print a list of fields in each table so that I can work on the new combined structure before making the changes. I know I can use the documenter but this produces a very comprehensive list which is much more than I need.
Is there anyway of producing a similar list without the detail, just showing the field names.
I would like to have a listbox that contains all of the fields names from a table. Since the user will be selecting items from this list box, the field names should be referred to by their captions as defined in the table.
The listbox values will change depending on the value selected from another listbox.
Question: using code, how can I fill a list box with field names and display the field caption?
I’m developing a claim tracking database that tracks dates of events that occur in the course of processing a claim; such as, Loss Date, Report Date, Estimate Date, Payment Date, etc. There are 16 different “Events” in all.I currently have the following tables set up:
tblClaim ClaimID ClaimNumber fkEmpID
tblEmployee EmpID EmpName
[code]....
What I need to do is create a form where management can choose two or more events, and calculate the average number of days between two of any of the events, for an employee, or all employees.I have created a crosstab query to change the values in the EventName field in tblEvents to field names, and the EventDate as values for the related EventNames. I created another query based on this query to do the DateDiff.
I created combo boxes on my form with the Row Source Type set to Field List, for a list of fields in my crosstab query. I’ve tried to use the following DateDiff function to get the days between the two fields selected in my combo boxes:
But I get an error about unrecognized field name or expression for my combo boxes. So I added my combo boxes in the query parameter window, with a data type as both text and value, but with both I get an error “This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated.” I also specified the column headings in the crosstab but I still am getting the “too complex” error.I’m pretty sure it’s trying to do a Datediff on the literal values in the comboboxes and not recognizing that I’m trying to specify field names.Is it possible to assign field names in DateDiff this way?
I am trying to populate a ListBox with the names of the tables from another database. I have the following function which loops the table names from the database I want. The function is caleld on Form Load and passed into the ListBox but the List Box is empty.The message box in the function does display the table names when called from the form. I just cannot get the list box to populate.
Code:
Public Function ListTables() Dim db As Database Dim i As Integer Dim s As String Dim tdefs As TableDefs, tdef As TableDef Set db = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("C:MyPathAnalyzed Tables.mdb")
1. I want to populate a list box with all the Tables Names in my Database using VBA.
2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
I wonder how can I list all the column names for a given table using a single query? I know how to do it in SQL using system tables, but no idea how to do that in Access.
I created a multivalue list in my table. It contains a list of names and a checkbox. I designed the form based on this and am able to check off multiple names. When I go back to look at the table, it stores in each name separated by a comma. So far so good.
When I create a report to display the data, it displays it as 1,2,3..etc., instead of the names separated by a comma.
I have drop down list linked to table included "agent names" , the names appeared normally in the form but not Alphabetic (A-Z) although the table was alphabetic .
Is it possible to have the field names in a table be set by the values in another table? The desire being that for a database used in various locations, the local variations could be changed in one table which would then propagate that change throughout all the forms, reports, tables etc.
Recently I have started working for one of the company where I have to deal with one of the access file. this file has lots of tables containing many fields.
My question is
How can I get all the tables name, their fields and attributes in Microsoft Word file. I have tried opening table > design view and copy text but it doesn't work. also tries coping table and paste in in word file but it takes ages
I should change the Fields(1) and Fields(2) to the actual fields names.
field 1 should be EmployeeListID field 2 should be ItemsID
PHP Code:
Dim rs As dao.RecordsetDim db As dao.DatabaseSet db = CurrentDbSet rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblEmployeeItems", dbOpenDynaset)rs.AddNewrs.Fields(1) = Me.[lstAvailableEmployees]rs.Fields(2) = Me. [lstAvailableItems]rs.Updaters.Closedb.CloseSet rs = NothingSet db = Nothing
I am working on an form (using Access 2000 and VBA) that stores registration information, along with events that were attending, in a table and later retrieves that same information from the table to display the regist. info, events attended, and allows the user to change any current info along with adding new/recently attended events to each record. I am currently allowing a max of six events, along with event details, to be stored and I am running through six different if statements to match the Event_List (name of the combo box that contains "Event 1 Event 2...Event 6") to the appropreiate information in the table. I have started to simplify the code to remove the redundancy by running a Do While to to find the correct Event by using an integer variable that starts at 1 and is incremented until it matches the 7th character (the number portion) of the Event chosen from the Event_List. After this I want to use that integer variable to say what event information in the table to gather. My problem is this: I have tried many different varieties of the following code and I am unable to make it work. I had never used Access up until a week and a half ago, and a few days ago I went and bought the book "Access VBA Programming for Dummies" but it doesn't help for this problem. Here's part of the code:
Variables (Event_Name, PMT, Receipt, Payment_Type, PIF) refer to Form textboxes while the variables in the [] refer to table field names.
'------Code I'm Currently Working On------- Dim intX As Integer Dim EventVal As Integer Dim strX As String
intX = 1 EventVal = Val(Mid(Event_List, 7, 1)) Do While EventVal <> intX And intX < 6 intX = intX + 1 Loop
strX = str(intX) Dim E_Name As String Event_Name = [Event strX ] PMT = [PMT strX] Receipt = [Receipt strX] Payment_Type = [Payment Type strX] PIF = [Paid In Full strX]
'-----Old Code That I'm trying to simplify------- If Event_List = "Event 1" Then Event_Name = [Event 1] PMT = [PMT 1] Receipt = [Receipt 1] Payment_Type = [Payment Type 1] PIF = [Paid In Full 1] Camp_Site = [Camp Site 1] Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 1] ElseIf Event_List = "Event 2" Then Event_Name = [Event 2] PMT = [PMT 2] Receipt = [Receipt 2] Payment_Type = [Payment Type 2] PIF = [Paid In Full 2] Camp_Site = [Camp Site 2] Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 2] ElseIf Event_List = "Event 3" Then Event_Name = [Event 3] PMT = [PMT 3] Receipt = [Receipt 3] Payment_Type = [Payment Type 3] PIF = [Paid In Full 3] Camp_Site = [Camp Site 3] Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 3]
I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
I would like to import excel sheet that contains about 45 fields and the fields names are not well defined(not obey the Access rules). I would like to import the sheet into ms access without changing the excel sheet because i have to provide only the interface to users where they have to import sheets only. (All the time In Excel fields name are arranged and in specific order but invalid names of fields).
After 1 week the person has new excel sheet with same format and the process of importing data into ms access will be continue for whole year or more.
Currently, I have a form with a combobox that lists all of the names of the tables inside my database. Depending on the table selected in the first combobox, I would like to have another combobox which allows the user to choose from the field names inside that table.
Access 2007 Pro.Attempting to use a query and a table to populate a 1:N form/subform using the Form Wizard. The wizard will not display the field names of the query.
The subject is probably confusing but I'll try to explain. Setup:
Table1 FieldID = Number FieldName = Text
Table2 FieldID = Number FieldName = Text T1_ID = Number
Relationship Table1.FieldID 1-> * Table2.T1_ID (one to many)
Now, I'm trying to create a 3rd table that has field populated by Table1 and a field populated by Table2 but I want to limit the field populated by table2 by what is selected in the field populated by table1. Table1:
If Table1Field = 1st then Table2Field Will only allow January, February, or March as selections, since ONLY they are a member of the "1sr" group via the table1 list.
Is this possible, or do i have to do some run-time checking or something? Thanks Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec Ruiner
I have a list box that is filled from a table with names of individuals. What I would like to do is when one of the names is selected it will take it off the list and do this for all the names in the list until all are removed then will reset and have the names avaialble once again. Is this possible and if so how can it be done? Thanks.
my search form has a combo box with "make"names. i can add new makes via a other form. so the combo box needs te run via a query so that it can list new makes (so that i can also search them). but, since some makes repeat them selves in the table, sometimes up to 15 times (see atachment 1), the combo box will show 15 times the same make. i just need it to show the make 1 time, all of the makes just 1 time. only way i can do that is to type them my self (see atachment 2). but then new makes that are added later wont be shown in the list.
so: i want that the make is only shown once in the list, and that the list is updated with new makes that are added later. how do i do that?
note: a "make" E.G = Philips, Apple, LG, Microsoft, creative etc (just for the lesser skilled english readers like me )
I am currently designing an employee personal development and training database.I have 100 employees and the number that would go on a training course might be a handful so selecting four or five names in a subform list from a 100 seems a bit impractical.
I thought of selecting the course in a form from a combo box, selecting the employees using a tickbox in a subform and then running an append query.
I have a form set up (in a list box) to show our salespeople what parts they have yet to get out of inventory but have a sales order for. The list box shows a list of all the salespeoples names. My manager wants me to show ONLY the salespeople that have populated fields in this list box. The list box currently shows all the salespeople, but I want to see only the ones that have inventory that has yet to shipped. How do I go about this?
